An auto policy does not extend to a motorcycle, and the injury exposure is the bigger half.
Cover for road bikes, cruisers and touring machines, including the custom parts and riding gear a standard form values at nothing.

What motorcycle insurance businesses actually need.
Liability
Injury and damage to others.
Without it — The at-fault exposure is the same as a car and the assets behind it are the same.
Custom parts and equipment
Exhausts, bags, paint and chrome added after the bike left the factory.
Without it — The standard settlement is the stock bike, and often a low sub-limit for the rest.
Uninsured motorist and medical
Your own injuries when the other driver has no cover, or none worth having.
Without it — A rider comes off worse in almost every collision, and minimum limits do not reach a serious injury.
What motorcycle insurance operators ask us.
Can I suspend coverage over the winter?
You can usually drop the road-risk portion and keep comprehensive so the bike is still covered against theft and fire in the garage, which is where a surprising share of motorcycle claims happen. Do not cancel outright: a lapse in continuous coverage costs you the preferred tier next spring and can outweigh the saving. Some carriers price the whole year on the assumption of a riding season anyway, which makes the exercise pointless — worth asking before you do it.
Does it cover my gear?
Only if you ask. Helmets, leathers, boots and comms easily run to a few thousand dollars, and a standard motorcycle policy either excludes them or includes a token limit. Most carriers offer a rider that covers safety apparel — often paying without a deductible after an accident, since gear is routinely destroyed by the crash or cut off at the roadside. Check whether it covers a helmet damaged in a drop as well, because the replacement rule for a dropped helmet is real and the cost is not trivial.
